About The Felix Project

The Felix Project is London's biggest food redistribution charity and the largest end-to-end food redistribution charity in Europe.  

Our vision is a London where no one goes hungry and good food is never wasted. 

We rescue surplus food from businesses, supermarkets, restaurants, and farms. This food is nutritious, in-date, and safe and includes a high proportion of fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, and fish. If we did not rescue this food, it would be at risk of going to waste. Instead, we deliver it free of charge to London charities, schools, food banks, food hubs and other organisations serving people in need. Our food is a vital lifeline for children and families, people on low incomes, people who have lost their jobs, the homeless, refugees, domestic abuse survivors, the elderly and keyworkers.  

We were founded in 2016 in memory of Felix Byam Shaw, by his father, entrepreneur Justin Byam Shaw.  

Purpose of the Job

Volunteers are a crucial part of key aspects of The Felix Project’s work including in the operation of our depots, volunteering in the warehouse or as drivers. The Volunteer Manager position is therefore a key role; working as part of the Volunteering team and collaborating with the rest of the Deptford depot team to plan for, recruit, train and support volunteers. 

We are working hard to build positive environments for all our volunteers and this role has a dual function; to contribute to our aim to make Felix a great place to volunteer and to contribute to the smooth running of the Deptford depot through volunteer recruitment and involvement. 

You will be accountable for recruiting new volunteers to support Deptford’s operations and to work with colleagues to improve the overall journey, experience and retention of volunteers, to maximise the food that we can collect, process and redistribute. You’ll contribute to the implementation of strategic initiatives to ensure the continued growth and success of the volunteer program at Felix. You will implement best practice in volunteer management, working collaboratively with the volunteering and distribution teams to help create a safe, supportive and enjoyable environment for our volunteers.
